Description
Delight in the rich, creamy essence of cottage cheese paired with the smoky allure of salmon in these high-protein bagels, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups high-protein flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup smoked salmon
- Cream cheese or herbed cheese, for spreading
- Fresh toppings: capers, dill, sliced red onion, or avocado slices
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, high-protein flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Shape the bagels: Dust your countertop with flour. Turn the dough onto the surface, kneading gently until smooth. Divide into equal portions and shape each into a bagel, creating a hole in the center with your fingers.
- Bake to golden perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until they’re golden brown and fragrant.
- Cool slightly: Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack for about 5–10 minutes.
- Layer with creaminess: Generously spread your choice of cream cheese over the warm bagels.
- Top with smoked salmon: Lay exquisite slices of smoked salmon atop the cream cheese.
- Garnish with fresh toppings: Add capers, diced onions, and a sprinkling of dill.
- Serve immediately: Present your bagels and enjoy!
Notes
